This week on the Maine Veterans Spotlight, we talk with Karen Worcester, the Executive Director for the Maine-based nonprofit Wreaths Across America, about how they did in 2025 and the new theme for 2026. We talk with Jasmine Lopez, a volunteer for the TAPs (The Tragedy Assistance Program), about what TAPs is and why she was featured on CBS TV’s NCS origins. We round out the show with Phyllis Wilson, the President of The Military Women’s Memorial at the gates of Arlington National Cemetery.
Maulian Bryant, executive director of the Wabanaki Alliance and former Tribal Ambassador for the Penobscot Nation, joins us to discuss the issues which impact indigenous people and how we can all support their communities.
During the stop, the Penobscot County deputy found a significant amount of illegal drugs, including over 120 grams of Methamphetamine, nearly 15 grams of Fentanyl and about 6 grams of Crack Cocaine.
